DROP PLAN FOR A
NEW COURT HOUSE.
Board Abandons Project After
Refusing’ to Acquire Addi
tional Property.
VOTE ON DEFEAT WAS CLOSE—I 6to 15.
Resolution Brought in When Special Meet
ing Was About to End and Snap Judg
ment Is Taken —Regret General.
Manitowoc County's new court house
project, thought to be in a fair way of
realization, has been indefinitely post
poned and nothing further can be ex
pected for several years to come as a re
sult of the action of the Board of Super
visors at the special meeting hold Fri
day, called for the purpose of consider
ing a suggestion of the Special Commit
tee to purchase additional property as a
site for the proposed building but resolv
ing itself into a session for the defeat of
tlie proposition as a whole. After re
fusing to adopt the recommendation of
the Committee, the Board took snap
judgment on a resolution introduced
just previous to adjournment and by a
vote of 1(1 to 15 discharged the Commit
tee from further labors in the interest
of anew court house and abandoned the
project to an indefinite period. Sup.
D. W. Sheldon, of Branch, was the au
thor of the resolution which was as fol
lows: “Be it resolyed that the com
mittee on public buildings be discharged
from further duties with regards to pro
curing plans and sketches fur anew
court house and that the building <,f a
court house be indefinitely postponed.”
The resolution came as a surpris > to
all but a few members of the Board and
with the vote called without permitting
time for discussion or deliberation it is
doubtful that the members gave true
expression to their views. The resolu
tion was adopted and the project for
which so good a sta-t had been secured
was killed, although by me hiall mar
tin of one vote. The members who
favored ttie resolution and the abandon
ment of the plan are: Connell, Dunbar,
Gretz, Krause. Krieser, Mnth, Mathies
en, Murphy, Finger, Reinemann, Shel
don, Schwalbe, Schubert, Spencer, Zas
trow, Zorn.— l(i. ()pposed to the defeat
of the court house project were: Groff -
man, Giemer, Lehrmann. Mohr, Rappel,
Schmidt, Stehn, Schultz, Schroeder,
Senglanb, Uek, Vraney, Vieth, Watt,
Wagner.—ls. Sup. Behringer of Two
Rivers, was not present at the meeting
having been excused on account of ill
ness in his family.
At the opening of the meeting an un
official report was presented by the
Special Committee as to the result of
the inquiry that had been made as to
the cost to the county of securing the
additional property. It was reported
that the price in aggregate of the de
sired land was $(13,000, the Schindler
property being held at $15,000, the Ka
dow at $35,000 and the Reformed Church
$5,000 with the cost of removing the
church edifice to anew site, estimated
at Ss,(K)O. An official inquiry was di
rected and Sups. Krause and Mohr were
appointed to make it. An adjournment
was taken until afternoon and then the
report of the Committee was made and
was virtually the same as that present
ed in the morning session. The report
was tabled. A resolution at this time
was introduced providing for condemna
tion proceedsngs to secure the property
and directing that the step be taken at
once. L. J. Nash made a brief address
in which he favored the additional site
and the question was then put to a vote
and defeated 25 to 11. The resolution
of Sheldon was presented shortly after
this vote was announced and after the
final action the meeting adjourned.
Although considerable censure is di
rected to the Hoard for the defeat of the
project, many are inclined to the belief
that inasmuch as the larg r site was not
secured, it is as well that the matter is
delayed. Even had the Board refused
to build, the work of the Committee
would have been of great value and but
a small expense would have been in
curred. There was no probability that
the court house plan could have taken
definite form for a year.
There is much speculation now as to
whether Kinney and Detweiler, the
Minneapolis architects, will make good
their threat to sue the county for the
plana which the Board refused. The
prevailing opinion is that nothing furth
er will le done in the matter.

Union School Districts Decided at Spring 1
Flection Next Year
The question of the consolidation of

influence the action of the Board.
